She is a great actress indeed. I saw her first time in Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles playing Sarah Connor - such an amazing portrayal of an iconic character.
@@thunderlyrics232 she's said it was incredibly hard and nerve-wracking to do and they used a nude body double cause she was literally too scared to do it all herself
How has she not won an Emmy. She is absolutely incredible as Cersei. I spent the first 5 seasons HATING her character and then by the end of season 6 she is one of my favorites. She is so good.
It's because Dumb & Dumber keep pushing their favorites, Kit Harrington and Emilia Clarke for Emmys each year. They keep writing scenes for that sole purpose, not caring about the plot of the show pretty much. They don't seem to realize the potential gold mine they have in Lena Headey.
@Nuby29 It's true it takes a ton of skill to convincingly playing a complex chracter, but Lena does well in Cersei in her own right. Her subtle expressiveness and how naturally she projects that role onto the screen takes impressive skill too.
If you completely hate a character to a point when you cant stand them, the actor has done a amazing job. Being the good guy is easier. Lena and the guy who played Joffrey was arguably some of the best roles of any TV series. Tremendous
@indian weeb desu He said that acting started to become more mechanical than recreational for him, when he started to lose the fun and passion he had for it, he started to fade from acting.
It’s interesting how Lena kinda puts her head down avoids eye contact with the audiences and slouches a bit - but as Cersi / she’s commanding walks and stands straight and says her lines effortlessly
I’ve been in a few stage plays myself (more as a hobby/for fun, not for anything serious) and people often comment that ‘I’m so shy in real life’. So I really relate to this. On a stage, it’s like I’m playing a character and I’m confident playing this character because it’s not me. If the character is confident then I become confident. Whereas in real life I’m just playing myself, and as ‘myself’ is not confident, makes me hella shy haha
While I agree with you of course, the fact that it's even something to post is a sign of how stupid we are as a society. Imagine being so dumb you can't tell the difference between a TV show and reality...
Watching this years later makes me realize how skilled Conan is at interviewing people. His self-flagellation actually made her relax because her body was in flight mode due to anxiety.
Cersei is the best damn contender to the throne and right now the most legitimate owner of it! I really want her to own it, though the chances are really slim.
+Stefan Constantin Dumitrache what? Cersei has ZERO claim to the throne. And all of her boundaries-dead. A rule w out boundaries is not a good ruler. I can name 10 people I'd rather see on the throne.
Ell3m3nta1 if you think Cersei has zero claim to the throne you don't understand power. The best claim to power is simply having it. The simple fact that Cersei sits on that damn throne means she's the rightful owner of it at the moment, regardless what others' claims are. It's a "come get it, motherfuckers!" kind of situation. If she can hold onto power against all odds, then she deserves it fully, no matter what any customs and traditions and rules might say. Those can be changed.
[SPOILER ALERT!] "When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.", said Cersie. And with THOSE scenes in the 6th finale, she has become the most interesting character for me. I'm soooo teamCersie. Can't wait to see her go full Mad Queen to everyone against her. Hopefully madder than the Mad King!!
I'm not gonna lie, she is waaayyy cuter than I expected her to be in person. She always totally kills strong female roles, you just dont expect that level of adorableness.
The fact that everyone hates her proves how great of an actress she is. That's how I see it. But it is ridiculous that some people take it too seriously. I hate her character but I really love her as an actress. So damn hot too.
As a kid i was in love with her in Disney live action The Jungle Book, then saw other movies with her later years and was striked with how awesome she is in other roles, beautiful and dangerous looking, and watching these talkshows i like her she is outside scenes.
+youssarian91 my friends used it once when I got an anxiety attack because there were lots of new people and I get like that sometimes so they were like "oh come on, look at us, we're stupid, don't be terrified, fucking chill!" that got me haha I remembered this interview
@@niccolomachiavelli8763 No it wouldnt. It would be boring without her. Well less exciting at least. You nevwr know wgat is gonna happen when she is in it.
+HBMHD wait... wait.. I worry what you just heard was "give me a lot of bacon and eggs." What I said was give me ALL the bacon and eggs you have... Do you understand?
I have been a fan of Lena's since her very early days and if you don't like Cersei, that is just her being a brilliant actress. She was always really good with romantic comedies because not everyone can do those very well. She seems so cool and she seems really fun, I just want to go bar hopping with her or take some shrooms or something. She is a few years younger than I am.
She is so cool. I know her character is awful, but I still get a huge kick out of Cersei. She doesn't get on my nerves like that petty and evil fuck, Ramsay.
It's ridiculous that some people take these shows so seriously that they actually send hate mail and in extreme cases even death-threats to the actors playing villainous characters.
Those people who can't differentiate reality from fantasy clearly have mental issues. I too have been totally convinced by certain actors in that their hated character is all I can see when I look at the actor, but my brain then tells me it's just a character and not the actual person. Many people don't have this ability.
The fact that you could really hate a fictional character really shows how amazing the actor is. No one could’ve played her character like her. She’s truly brilliant.
@d bollman you actually have a point. Everything bad that she had done was to secure a better future for her kids and her house. Even though it was horrible what she's done but she had a reason. Unlike ramsey who just does it because he feels like it.
I just end watching season 7 of the show. Lena is absolutly awsome. I swear god if she doesn't win the Emmy of best actress (and Diana Rigg for best guest actress) I will throw a wildfire bomb at the ceremony!
@GreenAndMeat paw Wtf are you talking about? You must be an idiot if you think Cersei is just a one-dimensional character. And even if she were, that would not mean playing her would be an easy job.

Lena Headey does the same for Cersei's character, who is certainly more complex than Joffrey ever was.
+Violet Pebbles One of the biggest things I love about the show is that it shows pretty much everyone has some good and some bad to them. There have been times I have felt bad for Cersei. And like other characters, sometimes I've been like, "Okay I can see why they are the way they are." But like, pretty much... she's a frickin bitch.
***** wait.....WHAT? fucking what?!?!? how did i not know that? and the would mean that game of thrones is not real and in infact a book series and a tv show?!?! well thanks for notifying me emily!
Zoë Zo As much as I love Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey is a terrific actress! Playing Cersei the way she does, making us hate her, yet also showing vulnerability and some redeeming qualities, that's incredible!Did Jack Gleeson get an award for Jeoffrey?
She needs to get an Emmy nomination (atleast) just for that calm dangerous coldness in her voice when playing Cersei is. What a wonderful actress she is
Lena is so elegant and intelligent. The reason why people get so angry at her is because she does such a damn good job at her job. She is amazing in every role she has.
Conan: "There's going to be a lot of castmates that will no longer be reporting to work. Spoiler alert" Lena: "Yeah, I talked to Richard who plays Robb..." I love how Conan tries to get around saying specific names and then Lena just says it outright :')
I have seen interviews of Jack Gleeson and he is a very nice person and to this day i have a recurring dream where me and him hangout and after having a wonderful time, he orders sir illyn payne to behead be...
the fucking book isn't even a high quality fantasy series like Terry Brooks or Weiss & Hickmans stuff....it engrosses its audience through sex, violence and death and while that is appealing Tolkien was able to do with very very little of those. Cunts...all of them
Russell Brookhaven That's true. I liked the Wheel of Time series at first but then it turned into a succession of hair tugging and dress smoothing. The women in those books were portrayed as stereotypical lunatics as well. It got old.
Russell Brookhaven I'll have to add R.A Salvatore, Raymond E. Feist and well any other fantasy author tbh. martin is a hard read and i been struggling through last book for over a year now any other and i could finish with in a couple days lol
Wow, it boggles my mind that people really cant differentiate between a character that an actor plays and the actor. It always amazes me when people cant believe that someone playing a notable antagonist is a nice person outside of that role, which she certainly seems to be, or when someone known as playing protagonists isnt a nice person away from the camera.
watch her in Pride and Prejudice AND ZOMBIES, yes they made a movie like that and it has big stars. One of them is this beauty and she is a Bad ass. I was confused about the movie but ended up finishing it and then never watching it again.
The fact that she managed to evoke such strong reactions from viewers is a testimony to her acting ability. Queen Cersei literally came to life due to Lena Headey's great portrayal of the role.
When I see how different these actors really are from their characters, it makes me appreciate them so much more! They really are incredible at what they do and super talented! Game of thrones is 100% my favorite show of all time, in fact I'm literally watching it right now . Just the difference in facial expressions alone is amazing... The way that they carry themselves and articulate so differently as their characters is damn impressive!!!
Cersei FREAKING Lannister has "..a crush on Ron Swanson" - Ergo - Loves Parks and Recreation!!!! A Brit ...loves Park and Recreation!! I'm so happy right now!!!;-)
Guys..I got this. I just meant Im happy Parks is well known in the UK. That's all. I don't know anyone who has heard of(before I told them) about Parks let alone watches it.
Omar Mohamed I am acting like you're being the weird one because I'm NOT provoking anyone. I just signed onto youtube to apparently be apart of a youtube argument I didn't even instigate or wish to have.
At least it means she act very well! If you dislike the character THAT much then she has portrayed her character perfectly :) People do still realise that herself is not the same as the character, but it's just what comes to mind when you see her.
Falrok Lakro so he is, one he still looks like a kid and two I still have a bit of trouble thinking that someone born while I was in 3rd grade is over 20 now.
Falrok Lakro Actually when I see Joffrey I think he is a kid of 16 or younger…when I see Jack the actor, I realize I am looking at a college aged person in their early twenties. He is a great actor.
She plays a character and she does it well, it is called acting lol ! It never ceases to amaze me how out of touch with reality some people are.. People who can not differentiate between fact and fantasy should be on some serious medication. JS..
Crazy to know how confident cersei is and then to see lena here actually be nervous as hell. Gave me a new found love and respect for her as a person and actress
Whenever someone hates an actor/actress for the characters they play, all I can think is, "You do know this is fiction, right??" Like in Breaking Bad with the woman who played Skylar, who btw I hate too, apparently fans legit hated her (meaning the actress) and I'm just like........................................I'm done. People are so stupid. I doubt it's like that for Lena Headey, but still, what the fuck people.
I couldn't believe when I first heard of such scenarios that there are actually people in the world who don't know that A. The characters are fictional and the actors are PAID to say those lines, and B. The actors DON'T WRITE the lines and usually have nothing to do with the writing. Sadly, people apparently are that dumb. Even in a local play I was in where I was the lead role (who was also the villain/murderess), I had a few people come up to me afterwards and call me a bitch. Granted most of them did it in an endearing way (complimenting my portrayal of the character), but a couple of them seriously lectured me about my 'cruelty'. I was like, "Um, you know I didn't write my character, right? And the guys who died in the play are standing right here next to me..."
IronHarper Absolutely, I hated the character of Joffrey and I give total respect to Jack Gleeson for bringing out all the anger inducing qualities that character portrays in the books. Everything from his demeanor in scenes to the sincerity in how he delivers his lines makes that character really come alive on-screen. I love it.
Never imagined the actross playing Cercei to have such a "Rock n Roll" attitude about her. When I googled Lena, I wasn't surprised that she married a musician.
this woman looks exactly like my english teacher.... i mean she already is kind of scary but now I feel like she is going to kill me for every wrong used tense.
Yes, Cersei is a villian, but she is a great villian, I don't hate anyone in this show or book series (even Joffrey), all of the characters are amazing in their own way
She is an amazing actress. Her acting is always so great and convincing, making you hate the character and intrigue by her actions. I am still really amazed that some people still can differentiate real life and fiction. Damn.
So much hatred towards this actress for a character she plays. For her, it should be a compliment. She plays a villain and does an amazing job as an actress.
Who knew the evil queen was a shy British introvert...she is a great enough actress to fool us all and make it believable.
She is a great actress indeed. I saw her first time in Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles playing Sarah Connor - such an amazing portrayal of an iconic character.
Or its the other way around
How is she shy? She did the walk of shame in front of hundreds
@@thunderlyrics232 she's said it was incredibly hard and nerve-wracking to do and they used a nude body double cause she was literally too scared to do it all herself
Vicente Garcia actually she was pregnant at the time and has lots of tattoos so that’s why they used a body double, was a lot easier for filming 🙂

Aww, she seems shy and sweet, she plays the heck out of Cersei.
She's very good at comedy too. It's uncommon for an actor to have an aptitude for comedy and drama.

ALL MY DREAMS ARE CRUSHED!
waaahhh I love Lena Headey Im surprised she hasnt won an award for her perfomance as Cersei yet. :|
lol, what?!
Nah its all about Pete
Lucky Faux hahahaha brilliant response he IS the best your right
Zoë Zo As much as I love Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey is a terrific actress! Playing Cersei the way she does, making us hate her, yet also showing vulnerability and some redeeming qualities, that's incredible!Did Jack Gleeson get an award for Jeoffrey?
DonWoschto lol, what?!
It's amazing how different Lena Headey is from her Cersei character.
It's almost like she is a completely different person...
It's like she was pretending to be someone else :/
GOT has one of the best casting I have ever seen. Flawless show.
Haha. You should see Emilia Clarke without the wig.
Brian Cheng probably because its a TV show, and she is an actress...
She needs to get an Emmy nomination (atleast) just for that calm dangerous coldness in her voice when playing Cersei is. What a wonderful actress she is
her quiet voice and shyness is quite captivating to me.
t
Any actor who plays a villain and makes you hate them personally is a great actor.
Lena is so elegant and intelligent. The reason why people get so angry at her is because she does such a damn good job at her job. She is amazing in every role she has.
*cough* fanboy *cough*
As an introvert with social anxiety, it's nice to see someone with a similar personality interviewed.
I absolutely despise Cersei. That being said, Lena is such a wonderful actress for making me hate her!
Yep she did such good job with Cersei. One of the better actors in the show no doubt
Conan: "There's going to be a lot of castmates that will no longer be reporting to work. Spoiler alert"
Lena: "Yeah, I talked to Richard who plays Robb..."
I love how Conan tries to get around saying specific names and then Lena just says it outright :')
How stupid are people for not being able to separate a TV show/book from reality. I seriously want to throttle these people...
I have seen interviews of Jack Gleeson and he is a very nice person and to this day i have a recurring dream where me and him hangout and after having a wonderful time, he orders sir illyn payne to behead be...
the fucking book isn't even a high quality fantasy series like Terry Brooks or Weiss & Hickmans stuff....it engrosses its audience through sex, violence and death and while that is appealing Tolkien was able to do with very very little of those. Cunts...all of them
Russell Brookhaven That's true. I liked the Wheel of Time series at first but then it turned into a succession of hair tugging and dress smoothing. The women in those books were portrayed as stereotypical lunatics as well. It got old.
I'm actually surprised that she get any hate at all, considering that this is an ADULT tv show.
Russell Brookhaven I'll have to add R.A Salvatore, Raymond E. Feist and well any other fantasy author tbh. martin is a hard read and i been struggling through last book for over a year now any other and i could finish with in a couple days lol
I'm glad interviews exist. That way, we can know their real personality and realize how far they are from their professional characters they play.
Lena Headley reminds me of Keira Knightley, if u know what i mean.
They have similar voices
They have the same look of jaw and teeth.
Although Lena is a great actress...
TheSmilingSun No, I don't...
NuSh the way she speaks is same with Keira
Wow, it boggles my mind that people really cant differentiate between a character that an actor plays and the actor. It always amazes me when people cant believe that someone playing a notable antagonist is a nice person outside of that role, which she certainly seems to be, or when someone known as playing protagonists isnt a nice person away from the camera.
How is Cersei the antagonist? She's just playing the game of thrones like everyone else.
i couldn't agree more. people see the characters actors play and assume that's how they really are. it's just a job.
Ya the poor kid that plays joffery gets dished on a lot but everyone from the cast talks about how nice he actually is.
Matt Alley People don't realise that those are actually good characters. Then again, most people can't experience life outside of their own ego.
People are stupid
She wil always be the Spartan Queen
YES!!!!!
I loved her so much in there and then Cersei Lannister happened.
watch her in Pride and Prejudice AND ZOMBIES, yes they made a movie like that and it has big stars. One of them is this beauty and she is a Bad ass. I was confused about the movie but ended up finishing it and then never watching it again.
Alfred Paynita OMG! That is her.
The fact that she managed to evoke such strong reactions from viewers is a testimony to her acting ability. Queen Cersei literally came to life due to Lena Headey's great portrayal of the role.
Does anyone else think she looks ten times hotter as a brunette?
Gellvos Yeah, that kinda sucked :/
She's ugly
Chaynez N Fayme pls go have ur eyes check nobody cares about your opinion -_- dont call my bae ugly.
I care about my opinion, my eyes are 20/20 and she's a dog.
Chaynez N Fayme Sshhhhh
"Why you terrified? We're idiots!" HAHA LMAO
her face is soo fkn expressive and she got the goofy style, i can barely recognize her as cersei
When I see how different these actors really are from their characters, it makes me appreciate them so much more! They really are incredible at what they do and super talented! Game of thrones is 100% my favorite show of all time, in fact I'm literally watching it right now . Just the difference in facial expressions alone is amazing... The way that they carry themselves and articulate so differently as their characters is damn impressive!!!
A fabulous actress who gives her character terrific complexity and depth. Her scenes are always interesting to watch.
Cersei FREAKING Lannister has "..a crush on Ron Swanson" - Ergo - Loves Parks and Recreation!!!!
A Brit ...loves Park and Recreation!! I'm so happy right now!!!;-)
I love you!
What about??
Guys..I got this. I just meant Im happy Parks is well known in the UK. That's all. I don't know anyone who has heard of(before I told them) about Parks let alone watches it.
Nasra Elmi He's cute but looks like an animatronic character lol
Ann Boylen Who Ron???
She is such a lovely woman.
Seeing Cersei laugh like a normal human is so strange lol
Book Cersei is much much much worse than Show Cersei, so dont hate the actress, she is amazing
+Legend71377 did you read it?
Omar Mohamed No... thats why im asking?
Legend71377 don't act like im the dumb one here you're comment was stupid so i thought you were being sarcastic
Omar Mohamed wtf?
Omar Mohamed I am acting like you're being the weird one because I'm NOT provoking anyone. I just signed onto youtube to apparently be apart of a youtube argument I didn't even instigate or wish to have.
Its so weird how she doesn't look anything like the character on the show. Total transformation.
She could be my sister, if you know what I mean...
; )
leftyfourguns I'm with ya
leftyfourguns your sick lol
leftyfourguns lolololololol
Ewwww.... wait what did you mean?
leftyfourguns what do ya mean
I love the way Conan makes her comfortable to be on the show. Good job Conan!
She's also really good in Dredd
+dovestones Just watched it today. A very decent movie, was pleasantly surprised. I think it might have done better if not for the original.
bed*
+I Review lol not lol
Victor Raphals-Kath K
I Review lol tho
At least it means she act very well! If you dislike the character THAT much then she has portrayed her character perfectly :) People do still realise that herself is not the same as the character, but it's just what comes to mind when you see her.
yea Like the Kid that plays Joffery..I can't stand that little &*%#..but that means that kid is an awesome actor...
LaughingOwlKiller he's 20 lol he's not a kid
Falrok Lakro
so he is, one he still looks like a kid and two I still have a bit of trouble thinking that someone born while I was in 3rd grade is over 20 now.
Watch an interview of Jack Gleeson(Geoffery) he's really cool.
Falrok Lakro Actually when I see Joffrey I think he is a kid of 16 or younger…when I see Jack the actor, I realize I am looking at a college aged person in their early twenties. He is a great actor.
She plays a character and she does it well, it is called acting lol ! It never ceases to amaze me how out of touch with reality some people are.. People who can not differentiate between fact and fantasy should be on some serious medication. JS..
Crazy to know how confident cersei is and then to see lena here actually be nervous as hell. Gave me a new found love and respect for her as a person and actress
Is it bad that I really like her character?
No.
Yes.
Maybe.
Some people are turned on by Ramsay Bolton so you're good
i like her too...she is smart and sneaky and she knows what she wants. she is passionate about her family...
them men next to Lena looks like Davos
That is Sir Ronald Swanson.
OtaconAlonsus
Ronald of House Swanson. The sigil is a glorious large mustache against an amber cloth.
"All your bacon. All your eggs."
ADOGSNIPER95 Long live Lord Ronald of House Swanson!
Maureen Kitty My exact thought....! :D
Maureen Kitty more like Ron Mopatis
loved her as Ma-Ma in Judge Dredd too.
Tulip Star Yeah. Don't fuck with the Ma-Ma clan.
She is my favourite in cast, amazing actress... Her mimics, her emotions, her facial expressions, her tone when she is speaking. She is so talented...
"Thank you. I'm also a little nervous to be seated next to the House of Lannister."
Gets me every time.
Whenever someone hates an actor/actress for the characters they play, all I can think is, "You do know this is fiction, right??" Like in Breaking Bad with the woman who played Skylar, who btw I hate too, apparently fans legit hated her (meaning the actress) and I'm just like........................................I'm done. People are so stupid. I doubt it's like that for Lena Headey, but still, what the fuck people.
I couldn't believe when I first heard of such scenarios that there are actually people in the world who don't know that A. The characters are fictional and the actors are PAID to say those lines, and B. The actors DON'T WRITE the lines and usually have nothing to do with the writing. Sadly, people apparently are that dumb. Even in a local play I was in where I was the lead role (who was also the villain/murderess), I had a few people come up to me afterwards and call me a bitch. Granted most of them did it in an endearing way (complimenting my portrayal of the character), but a couple of them seriously lectured me about my 'cruelty'. I was like, "Um, you know I didn't write my character, right? And the guys who died in the play are standing right here next to me..."
OperaSpider Yeah, people are stupid.
If you cause people to hate you through your character, you're doing that shit right.
IronHarper You're goddamn right! :D
IronHarper Absolutely, I hated the character of Joffrey and I give total respect to Jack Gleeson for bringing out all the anger inducing qualities that character portrays in the books. Everything from his demeanor in scenes to the sincerity in how he delivers his lines makes that character really come alive on-screen. I love it.
"Man, he's smooth" LOL
She's so silky smooth. I could listen to her for days on end.
Nick Offerman wold be brilliant i Game of Thrones! He would just stare his enemies to death!
he's ser davos' stunt double
Ron of House Swanson, first of his name.
Bend the knee.
No.
Who knew she was so shy? She's an amazing actress!
Never imagined the actross playing Cercei to have such a "Rock n Roll" attitude about her. When I googled Lena, I wasn't surprised that she married a musician.
She is an amazing actress - so cute, shy and adorable here - but able to brilliantly act incredible characters (300, purge, GOT, etc.).
this woman looks exactly like my english teacher.... i mean she already is kind of scary but now I feel like she is going to kill me for every wrong used tense.
Ask if she has a twin brother.
*wrongly used tense.
She's coming...
***** :-)
that's actually exactly what i was thinking
Yes, Cersei is a villian, but she is a great villian, I don't hate anyone in this show or book series (even Joffrey), all of the characters are amazing in their own way
I hate Joffrey, love his character and love the actor who portrays him.
ALAN BROWN I don't think that would stop her….but why are we talking about Cirsei here…isn't this about Lena?
in my original comment here I was talking about the character of Cersei, but yeah the acting on Lena Headey's part is spot-on
Guys i've found awesome GoT rpg :o look it up - po.st/uayNaM
Queen of westeros and sparta.....
and Camelot
Paul Kellerman i am not sure but she is also the queen of the Jungle. Moglis Gf or something, lol
And also mother of the world saviour...
And an ultimate drug lord of the Peach Trees complex.
Pouk 3D YES!!
How can such a lovely lady play a character that is hated in real life ?
Because she is an awesome actor
She is an amazing actress. Her acting is always so great and convincing, making you hate the character and intrigue by her actions. I am still really amazed that some people still can differentiate real life and fiction. Damn.
WOW this chicks 40 and she looks 25. Beautiful lady.
So much hatred towards this actress for a character she plays. For her, it should be a compliment. She plays a villain and does an amazing job as an actress.
I love how she laughs when he says "I find some redeeming qualities in her"
